REDDLEBERGER's STATEMENT.
lie Says he Was Defending q Poor Deaf
Msn from Malice.

WOODSTOCK, VA, Aug. 26.-The She
naudoah Hersid will this week publish
two. column statement by Senator Riddle
berger, concerning his Imprisonment o-
contempt Of court. He ssys there lives
in the limits Of this corporation two
pulpitless preachers, one is named
WitZel the other Moore, and both now
live in retirement. For q neighbOr these
QuoDdsm teachers Of charity have one W.
W Jones, who has been arraigned for
offences the gravity OF which will appear
further on, but in each case it
was for alleged wrongs done to one or
both OF these gentlemen. Jones is poor
and deaf and the last jury said crazy.
Jones lived in q small mouse sepa'ated
| by narrow road from an Old field OF
Moore's, which was permitted to grow
up in bisCkberries. For the offence of
walking across this road and picking less
than pint Of these berries, this good
| Samaritan had Jones arrested, the trial OF
which resulted in = fine Of $3.50 and costs
or Imprisonment in default of payment
Mr.. Riddleberger was sent for 10 appear
in behalf Of Jones. Owing to illness ne
| begged to be excused, but FINELY went. A
necessity arose for his leaving the lower
courtroom, and the Judge appointed
Judge William to assist as counsel. Mr.
Riddleberger decided to remain through
the trial. Neither Witzal or Moore, ne
says evinced s disposition TO prosecute,
but during another absence of Mr. Rid
dleberger from the room plea OF
insanity had been filed and the
States Attorney urged its acceptance.
Mr. Rjddleoerger came bsck in time to
oppose this and demand verdict Of not
guilty, but the larry found him insane.
NJ. Riddleberger says the trial was in
violation of usual procedure, being with
out the form of q preliminary eXamina-
ton before justice of the peace. He says
Jones was the victim Of grand Juror g
malice, no one being willing to prosecute
until Moore got on the Jury. The ObnoX-
ious street placard Mr.. Rlddleberger de-
cIares "a fair delineation of the oddities
and tyTennieg Of this momentous t.ial.' ''
When he appeared to answer for con-
tempt he asked for an inquiry into the
author Of the placard, but TO no purpose.
He was fined and Jailed for five days, 10
which five more were added, owing TO q
disturbance e. the door. Riddleberge1' s
nephew was sheriff, and was not asked
by the court if the prisoner attempted to
escape. In sill Mr.. Riddleberger re
ceiVed much kind treatment from the
town people. That 1 was examined by
two physicians is not correct ! learned
that slI the physicians of the town re-
commended that l should not be contiued.

AllExss on Now York.

ST. Louis, Mo, Aug. 2G The Globe
Democrat to-day contains the following
editorial paragraph:
yesterdays convention of Prohibi-
tionists in New York has Importance for
the whole country from the fact that the
vote cast for that ticket will afford some
index to the condition Of the party in
pival states of the Union. The pro vote
in New York has been growing steadily
for the past seven years. In the presi-
Dental election of 1880 it polled only
1917 votes. Four years later it gave
2G,001 to ST. John and in 'S6 it cast Sc, Al
ballots for the Court of Appeals Judge.
That was the largest number of votes
ever given prohibition candidate in any
partisan canvass in snysstate. This year
the Prohibitienlsts expect to poll $4,000
votes in New York. If they should cast
10000 it would mean that the Republi-
cans would not have a walk-over in that
state unless Georges vote IN the coming
canvass should reach $4,000 or upwards.

President lives.
"Why, there is out one sentiment

elected. In my opinion Blaine will be
the Republican nominee and Cleveland

general prosperity continues until the
next presidential election, there is no
telling what the vote for Cleveland will

Mob Violence.

Before the late fire julius Lemle had in
his employ Mr.. Herman Marx and Isaac
Lemle, the latter a boy about 10 years old
They occupy, together, room at Mrs.
Prltchard's. On Monday night mob OF
four masked men went to their room, took
them out and handled them in a rather
rough manner. The purpose of the men
who perpetrated this outrage was, we pro-
sumo, to learn something about the origin
of the late fire. We learn that the little
boy, who was of course frightened out of
his wits, male statement charging Joseph
and Julius Lemle with burning tho stores.
The statement, eNtorted as it was, is
worth nothing, and was made as the boy
thought to save his life. If it was true and
good in law it is hardly to be expected that
it will be proved by the witnesses. No
statement Of any kind, we believe, was ex-
torted from Mr.. Marx.
We have time and again deplored the re-
sort to mob law and pointed out its evil
tendencies. Will it never stop? The dam
age that it is doing our country is incalcu-
liable. We want immigration and we want
development but we say plainly that it
viii never come until there is q cessation
of mob violence.
